The camera is equipped with a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for 

transferring data. This allows fast data transfer to computers with the 

same kind of interface.

With Windows operating systems:
The operating system detects the camera as an external drive and 

assigns it a drive letter. Transfer the picture data to your computer 

using Windows Explorer and save it.

With Mac operating systems:
The memory card appears as a storage medium on the desktop. 

Transfer the picture data to your computer using the Finder and save it.

• Only use the USB cable supplied.

• While data is being transferred, the USB connection must not be 

interrupted as this can cause the computer and/or the camera to 

crash and may even cause irreparable damage to the memory 

card.

• While data is being transferred, the camera must not be turned off 

or should not shut down due to a lack of battery capacity, as this 

can cause the computer to crash.

• For the same reason the battery must never be removed from the 

camera while the connection is active. If the capacity of the battery 

runs low during data transfer, the 

INFO

 screen appears, with the 

battery capacity flashing. In this case, cancel the data transfer, 

turn off the camera and charge the battery.

USING CARD READERS
Picture data can also be transferred using card readers for SD/

SDHC/SDXC memory cards (including UHS I types) on the computer 

itself. External card readers are also available that connect to the 

computer using a USB interface.

Note:
The Leica X Vario is equipped with an integral sensor, which detects 

the position of the camera – horizontal or vertical (both directions) – 

for each picture. This information allows the pictures to be presented 

upright automatically when subsequently displayed on a computer 

running the appropriate programs.
